DJI Mini 4 Pro and GIS ?

[samsoinsights]

I am a geologist and would like to use the Mini 4 Pro to take aerial photos and then take them into a GIS like QGIS or MapInfo. The idea is to use the image as a base map so I can visualise my other information.

I know we can use Waypoint to create the georeferenced images and its greate to be able to create 3D images. What I need to know is how or can I go from that I to a GIS, for my purpose.

Thank you

You need to create an othomosaic photo. I use Geonadir to process the ortho and then stream it into qGis

Unless it's for just a few acres, to create an orthophoto mosaic, you really need to use a mapping app to create a grid with precise overlaps and fly the mission and acquire the images.
Unfortunately DJI no longer releases an SDK to allow 3rd party developers to tailor their software to DJI consumer drones, so this isn't an option.

Do the mapping apps produce kmz files that can be converted to Fly waypoint missions with Wes's tools?

There are 3rd party apps that allow mapping with the non-SDK DJI drones WaypointMap Automated Mapping Tool For DJI Drones is one
